Legend has it the gold train was in a tunnel that was dynamited or buried in a disused mine and the entrances sealed it may still be out there but sucsessful treasure hunters are secretive .
True. The whole world followed. No nation could ever amass enough gold to cover their actual wealth. When it came down to the wire, the government as a corporation to the world wouldn't have anything to bargain with at the time as it was the Depression. Nobody could ever get the gold required, it simply doesn't exist. So people were given notes of debt - and their wealth seized. For less than it was worth. Gold is fungible - it will always be worth its weight, and can be traded for any nations notes of debt. It appriceates and follows inflation over time to match it. Notes of debt do not. An example, is if you won 5 million dollars, but you are offered 5.5 million in 5 years time. If you calculate the value of a dollar now, and deduce its value 5 years from now, it will be worth less. Right now, 5 million is worth more than 5.5 will be 5 years from now. That is why companies don't leave money just sit idle - it just loses value, so you buy fungible commodities and such and when they readjust to a worthwhile price you sell em' and buy more.
Lol, 1971 when the US had no choice but to rob the world after spending a fortune on both Vietnam and the cold war with Russia, although Britain, Germany and Austria also decided to pull out and then rejoin during the 1930s. Not sure what to make of that system but it has to be better than the Fiat currencies we use today. Basically whoever can manipulate and trick the system the most is the winner!
To be fair, if they didn’t the entire economy would collapse into next Great Depression. The gold standard is good for smaller scale economy, but couldn’t handle the strain of the fast growing economy of our era.

Just watched you guys' video on getting sent back in time to medieval Europe. I'd like to see you guys make a similar video in which the viewer gets sent back in time to the Eastern Front of World War II.

The Soviets have no honor. They loaded trains with factories they found in Germany still intact. They are right about underground areas many of these are flooded with groundwater.
Yes because the Nazis were so......honorable during their occupation of USSR. Why does taking factories as war reperations make the Soviets dishonorable?
@@chrischandler889 Japan started WW2 by invading China in 1937. Everybody killed tons of civilians including the US and England, but the Soviets are the only ones who are dishonorable? That makes zero sense.
@@LongJohnLiver I have all kinds ww2 DVDs I used to watch and i watch many docs here on TH-cam. Some dvds I remember watching literally showed the US airforce and military killing innocent civilians and the old narrator from the 50s or 60s saying "we need to blow up those farm houses(in Italy or elsewhere) just in case. You never know if they are secret bases and they arent no friends of mine."... Literally blowing up farms and regular houses and talking about how they were supposed to use all of their ammo and or bombs before they return on anything the pilot suspected regardless if true military target or not. I think that was about the "Thunderbolts" aircraft documentary i have.
I thought that was because it was low quality oil that doesn't meet America's standards. Low may not be the right word, but to my understanding it is dirtier.
@@KILLKING110 actually not against the law: Experts said it’s reasonable to ask why, if the U.S. is trying to lower prices at the pump back home, it would sell oil to overseas companies. But these experts offered a straightforward answer: That’s the law, and that’s how the international oil market works.
When an administration orders the release of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, “the Department of Energy puts out a notice of sale that alerts companies that oil will be made available for purchase,” said Hugh Daigle, a professor in the University of Texas-Austin Department of Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering. “Companies then bid competitively on the oil, and the winning bidders receive the oil and the bid price.” The winning company works out with the Energy Department when and how it will take possession of the oil. Sometimes the winning bidders may be U.S. refiners, Daigle said, in which case the oil quickly boosts U.S. gasoline supplies. But in other cases, he said, foreign companies win the bid. This increases the supply of global crude oil and, eventually, helps lower prices in the United States. The law does not bar foreign companies in good standing from competing in such auctions.
@@christiancsq the so called experts don't understand the laws as a energy emergency has to be declared just to do anything about selling some of the strategic reserve and Biden never declared a energy emergency when he sold it.
What was the name of the Room of Gold and Jewels? Between that and the $100,000,000. diamond heist a few years ago, hard to think anything would touch it. But I guess that's why we are all here to find out. Lol
I suggest you look at the amount the Brits looted from India *alone* (one out of the many many rich colonies of the english), this is just a penny worth.
Let’s not forget Russia and Germany made a pact to attack Poland and split it between them. France and England declared war on Germany for attacking Poland. I guess France and England weren’t mad about the Poles being killed. They were only mad when Germans killed Poles.
USA gov "officials" made sure the gold got to them, think about it, there was a lot of gold, how many military trucks and bags, boxes coming back to the USA, some got rich, you know they took it.
